How people cook with it
Kohlrabi can be prepared in many ways, offering a refreshing crunch or a tender bite depending on the cooking method.
- Sliced raw in salads
- Steamed and mashed
- Roasted with herbs
- Added to stews
To prepare kohlrabi, trim off the tough outer skin and any leaves. The leaves can also be used, similar to kale or collard greens. The bulb can be sliced thinly for salads, cut into cubes for roasting, or grated. It cooks relatively quickly, becoming tender when steamed, boiled, or sautéed. It pairs well with butter, herbs like dill and parsley, and a touch of lemon juice. Its mild flavor makes it adaptable to many culinary applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike its cabbage cousin, kohlrabi's primary edible part is the swollen stem rather than the leaves. Its texture is often more tender and less fibrous than cabbage when cooked, and its flavor is distinctly sweeter and milder.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused kohlrabi in the refrigerator. It is best kept in a plastic bag or wrapped in damp paper towels to maintain its moisture. Properly stored, it can last for several weeks.
